Neurons undergo physical change in their interconnectivity. New connections (synapses) are created, strengthened, and lost over time. We don’t have circuits that can do that.

You Aint Going Nowhere

Spot on. I used to work in a fancy spot. People waving their arms around would sometimes just get a super friendly wave back from me.

Depends on the restaurant. While not rude, a wave is often unnecessary in finer dining. Busy sports bar, sure. But most good servers will be scanning fairly constantly. Simple eye-contact is usually enough.

I do this the manual way. Set alarm half-an-hour early for coffee, drink it and go back to sleep. Wake up moderately more awake 45 minutes later. Doesnt always work. 4/10

No Mans Sky. Off and on for like 4 years now. But I keep coming back with each new update and I get completely hooked again.

I understand “pile” more as an orientation than an amount. You could have a million grains of sand all in a row and I’d call it something like a “line” of sand rather than a “pile”. To that end I’d say the minimum would maybe be 4 grains arranged in a triangular pyramid?

Wezterm is my daily driver.

I’ve been working through this on my old 2012 Mac Pro. My issue has been my graphics card. In that era any non-mac graphics card won’t give you the boot-screen you need to choose which OS to use, or even to choose a USB boot for installing the Linux os. I got Refind (a super light bootloader) to work with a bit of extra tooling. You can also use opencore, but that is more challenging and makes a lot more changes.

For real. Are they trying to make me NOT want to be that guy, cause…

Yeah, proper cohort attribution seems to be a little lacking by this data analyst. I’d say gender bias has already occured before your specific sample point… bro

Dreamcast was so cool and unique.

Stevie is the perfect way to deflect but still be direct. “We love Stevie and would like to contribute to his recovery.”

Wish we all had neighbors like you.

A firm “no shit talking” policy goes a long way in the workplace. Being kind and polite and letting it all roll off of you is the best way. This sounds like a trap. I wouldn’t take the bait. And let anyone else who wants to dish know that you don’t engage in slandering coworkers.

I always go with: “Just pee your pants.”

Guessing it’s a typo of “bulk” buying.

Misinformation is bad for both the population and for journalism. If it was true, honest reporting, it wouldn’t be “propaganda”. It’s in the definition.

Do you play an instrument? Do you want to? Musicians are super friendly and welcoming, if that interests you.

I struggle with similar symptoms regularly. For me the culprit is boring old anxiety. I know how to relax. I know I am not in danger. Anxious brain gonna do anxious brain stuff. Not saying this is your solution, but it sounds very close to my experience. Just like they say drowning doest look like it does in the movies, anxiety can present in many ways. Therapy is a really good thing. If you feel weird about that, I’d say (forgive the woo woo) just go for a walk every day for a week. Sounds like your brain needs a break. Love to you boss. Times tuff.

Mac LC. The family computer. Tried to “overclock” it as a pre-teen. I was a dumbass. Thing still works. But I credit that little tank for sparking the fire.
